I thought Zs were always 2 seaters until I saw this stock Z in my apt that had 4 seats. It made me wonder why the 350Z is not a four seater. THE G35 SC doesn't count since I want looks and performance of the 350Z. I want a 350Z with 4 seats!!

 

I never really liked the 300ZX with the four seats. I prefer the two seater since the back seat was pretty much use less for sitting in.

 

4 seats weigh too much and makes the car look too extended.

 

It would probably kill the look of the car. I can't imagine a stretched out 350z.

 

I like the fact it is a 2 seater. I am never the DD since only one other person can fit in it.

Also it feels more like a sports car with only 2 seats.

 

Indeed....the 2+2 version of the 300zx looks noticeably elongated

 

What's the point of a back seat in a sports car anyways? It's just used to store stuff... not like you can really fit anybody back there.

 

2 Seater = No In-laws

 

the two back seats of the 90's sports cars were huge jokes, they were meant to save insurance money (these were heavily turbocharged RWD cars...insurance hell), you can't really fit anybody back there over the age of 3.

 

i agree. the 2+2 300zx is too long. if you see the 300zx and 300zx 2+2 next to each other, the 2+2's odd, streached out looks is made even more noticeable. i am glad they didnt make a 2+2 350z.

nissan also probably figured that if they made a 2+2 350z it would eat heavily into the sales of the g35c.

 

i think the back 2 seats is very convinient, you can put whatever you want in the back like bags and such

 

you thought Zs were always two seaters until you encountered the one exception.

you are aware of the g35 coupe.

you can't understand why there is no 4-seater 350z.

 

Except that the 90-96 TT Z's never came as 2+2. All 4 seater Z's were NA's. Only Supras' came with 2+2 TT's. BTW, you can tell a Z32 coupe and a 2+2 by what side the gas cap is on the side of the fender. If it's a coupe, it's near the door. If it's a 2+2 it will have it on the rear side of the fender.

I do agree, a 2+2 Z33 would look too stretched out. I hope they never make it.

 

while searching for my son's 300ZX, we tested a 2+2. Not happening. I think the car looks ok, but it begins to feel too much like a sedan and less like a sports car. 2 seater is the way to go. I love my 350Z with 2 seats and would never, ever, purchase a 2+2. my 2c

 

The 350Z was supposed to go back to original car idea which was a 2 seater. I agree with most that 4 seats was most for insurance purpose in the 90's. No one really put adults in these cars. And besides if you really want four seat that what the G35 coupe is for really. In fact the G35 is a great car for those who want to move on with more room life after the 350Z. With the exception of the Porsche 911 and Supra 93-98 were the few four seat sports cars that I liked. Again I don't think anyone bought those cars because of the back seat.

The other day I saw a lady had a kid in the back of a Lexus 430 with the top up. I didn't know you could really fit a small kid back there! Then again there is always an RX-8 with the extra doors too. When Mazda made the RX-8 there were planning on the people who had the RX-7 in the 90's now married with kids to buy these RX-8s. Guess that didn't happen?

 

There is a 2+2 Z. It's called a G35 Coupe.

 

No. No. No. No. And for the fifth time, No.

Please do not turn the Z into another 2+2. Owned a 2+2 280zx and don't want to see that styling mistake made again.

 

Wrong-o. Nissan sold the 300ZX 2+2 TT everywhere BUT the US because of the comments in this thread. Nissan felt that Americans wanted a 2-seater sports car more than a 2+2.

Furthemore, the 2+2, although heavier, is better balanced on the road track because of it's longer wheelbase.

Nonetheless, to answer the original question why no 350z 2+2... it's the same reason why the 350z doesn't have t-tops or a sunroof: the original 240z never had those options. However, the G35 coupe is supposed to fill that void.

Michael.

 

I doubt Nissan will even make the 350Z a four seater or else it would look like a G35 coupe with a Nissan emblem on it.

Back in 2002 when I found out Nissan was making another Z car I was relieved that it wasn't a four seater or even 4 cylinder too.

 

It would be pretty ugly.....
